Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

I don’t mind doing something like that, but it’s understood that your “main” work will take a backseat to some degree. Are you expected to just add on and keep steady everywhere else? That is where I’d need the raise or shift responsibilities.
Exactly. If you’re having split responsibility then it makes sense that it’s formalized and there’s some compensation for it
I think that teaching in a role can be in and of itself a part of learning. I would look at the positives, but yes I understand why you would be upset with no salary raise.
You’re right that there’s huge benefits to it but a little compensation will also be nice.
Generally you can command more money by being good at and/or experienced in more responsibilities, not just by being given an opening to try them. “Demanding a raise” for additional work you might succeed at in the future is like “demanding a base” before you’ll deign to hit an oncoming baseball pitch. You can always try it… but it will come across like you don’t understand the game.
It would depend a lot where I am expected to find the time for these additional responsibilities. Are they added on to my current responsibilities, or will there be some reprioritizing so that I am not expected to put in my own personal time? I would be open to it without a raise for the short term, but if the raise didn't come quickly, I would start job hunting and use my new training experience to help get a higher salary elsewhere.

Are the interns actually reporting to you? Can you 10x your impact with them? I would be asking about which ones you want to convert to full time for you to manage and grow your team.

Managing interns is real work: training, quality control, performance reviews. If it's "leadership development," ask when development translates to actual compensation. Companies love reframing unpaid labor as "growth opportunities."
Valid reason to ask for a raise? Yes. Will you get it? Probably not without leverage. They're testing if you'll absorb management duties for free. If you say yes without negotiating, you've set the precedent that added responsibility doesn't require added pay.
Counter with: "Happy to take this on – let's discuss comp adjustment" or prepare to manage interns while job hunting at your new market rate.
